The People and the Peregrines Behind the Incredible Ongoing Recovery of Falcons in NH with Chris Martin

June 1, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm EDT

$12.00 – $15.00

Decades of restoration efforts now make it possible trace generations of Peregrines from successful nest sites across the state. Sightings of banded falcons reveal their NH lineages as populations increase. The Manchester falcon nest site that we can see in NH Audubon’s nest cam has produced 70 chicks so far and over half of them have been spotted elsewhere as adults. Hear stories of individual falcons and individual people who monitor them. Through photos, join Chris on a climb to band chicks – how does he get into the ledges and crevasses to measure and document them year after year?

“It’s the unsolved mysteries that are important to me now,” says Chris. “I’m getting multiple sightings of a color banded falcon spotted in Hampton who is the grandson of a Manchester bird via the Newburyport, Plum Island bridge. Where is he now? Did he move on from Hampton? Is he part of a new breeding pair somewhere, continuing his lineage?”

Chris Martin has been a raptor biologist for NH Audubon for more than three decades. His work focuses on recovery of the state’s endangered and threatened raptors in close collaboration with NH Fish & Game. He recruits, trains, and supervises an enthusiastic group of NH Audubon volunteer field observers who monitor these species across the state.
